AI development services, from an AI development company in India.
Custom AI for startups and small businesses, in India and any country: a new product, a feature inside your web app, or an agent over your data. Scoped in writing, code handed over.
Who builds custom AI for a startup or small business in India?
KanavuLab, a studio in Chennai, part of MatrixGard. Remote for any country; scope, demos and hand-over in writing.
-
A new product
From a blank page, as our MVP studio builds one.
-
An AI feature inside your app
One capability added to the app you run, behind a flag.
-
An agent over your data
Reads files, exports or an inbox; writes a draft; a person approves.
Adding an AI feature to an existing web app
Your stack stays. The feature is a service beside it, on a model key in your name, behind a flag you can switch off.
- We read and run your code first; if we cannot, we say so.
- Every model output is checked by code or a person before a customer sees it.
An AI agent over your own data, with read-only access
Reach is set in the credentials, not the prompt. The agent reads what it is given, writes drafts, logs every call, and a person approves what leaves.
- Drawn in the spirit of Agent Radius, our open-source map of what an agent's credentials can reach.
Build it yourself with n8n, or hire us
The same four questions, answered for each.
A flow you can draw: a trigger, a few steps, one model call.
An afternoon to a few weekends, yours.
Your time, plus tool and model fees.
You fix it, or it waits.
A job with judgement, limits to enforce, a record to keep.
Scoped after a call; a demo every week.
A quoted price; model and hosting billed to you.
Agreed before we build: your team, or us on a retainer.
Start in n8n if you can. Call us when the flow needs limits, a check, or a record.
What it costs
No number here. A new build is scoped and quoted after a 20-minute call; four things move the quote.
- Web app MVP bands are already published, in US dollars and in rupees.
- Model and hosting fees are billed to accounts in your name, never marked up.
Who owns the code, and how hand-over works
You do. Source code handed over; where it runs and who looks after it is agreed before we build.
- Open source where we can: Agent Radius and Ghost-hunter are on GitHub.
- Repository in your nameGitHub or GitLab, full history.
- Cloud account and API keys in your nameBilled to you from day one.
- Run-bookHow to run it, what it may touch, what to do when it stops.
- Who looks after itAgreed before we build: your team, or us on a retainer.
Proof: three of our own builds
Built for our own work first. Full chapters, each with a machine you can watch run, on the custom AI solutions page.

Real screenshot of the public demo board, 11 October 2026; its leads are sample data. A product from a blank page: a seller answers three questions and gets a board of leads, each linked to what the buyer published.

The real architecture diagram, from the repository. An agent over cloud data, read-only by default: seven agents, one blackboard, a verifier on every claim, guardrail Terraform written for review, never applied.

Real result, 28 Sep to 10 Oct 2026. Counts are answers, not days. A feature inside our own workflow: weekly, it asks the main assistants our buyers' questions and records who is named. The AI SEO numbers come from it.

Questions
Can you add AI to a web app someone else built?
Yes, if we can read and run the code. The feature goes in as a service beside your app, behind a flag; your stack stays.
Which AI models do you use?
Whichever fits the job and the budget, hosted or on your own cloud when data must not leave it. The key is in your name, so you can change later.
Is our data used to train a model?
Not by us. Which provider sees your data, and on what terms, is written into the scope.
How much do AI development services cost?
Scoped and quoted after a 20-minute call. The quote moves with inputs, judgement, limits and checks, and the systems to connect. Web app MVP bands are on our MVP studio page.
Who owns the code?
You do. Repository, cloud account and API keys are in your name. Where it runs and who looks after it is agreed before we build.
Do you work with businesses outside India?
Yes. We are in Chennai and build remotely for any country, with scope, demos and hand-over in writing.
